Joseph-Célestin Dumonthier was one of the most notable and prolific gunsmiths in France specializing in combination guns. He made a variety of knife-guns and gun-knives large and small, as well as things like cane guns and occasionally even just regular guns. He initially worked in Houdan (about 30 miles west of Paris) in the 1840s before moving into Paris proper from the 1850s until the 1890s.
